Coca Cola Games sprint queen Kesaia Boletkanakadavu will represent Fiji in the 100 metre race in the 17th South Pacific Games this year in Solomon Islands.

Boletakanakadavu had successfully defended her blue ribbon title at this year’s Coca-Cola Games after a dominant performance in the 100 metres final.

Boletakanakadavu clocked a time of 12.44 seconds in the final.

Meanwhile, Braelynn Yee and ACS Melania Ranadi will also run in the 100 metres.

Waisake Tewa is the only male athlete to participate in the 100 metre race this year.
